July 24, 2015 (Friday) - Listen to the previously unreleased alternate vocal take of "When You Come Down," featuring Thayer Sarrano, from the double album -- Berkeley to Bakersfield (429 Records) -- from that most stalwart of bands, Cracker. When the man (David Lowery) who wrote and sang "Take the Skinheads Bowling," and "Eye of Fatima (Pt. 1)," and "She Divines Water," and "All Her Favorite Fruit" -- and, and, and -- loans out the microphone, there must be good reason. Thayer's new album release -- Shaky -- is a little over a month away (August 28, 2015). Pre-Orders -- June 30, 2015! If you are out in the Midwest, now would be a good time to catch Cracker on tour. Their keyboardist (Thayer) is first-rate, like the rest of the band. And she will herself be opening Cracker's show at Shank Hall tomorrow (Saturday, July 25, 2015) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Many thanks to Cracker for their generosity and support in kindly sharing this track.  

July 24, 2015 (Friday) - "Crease" from Thayer Sarrano makes Press Play, a monthly recap of tunes and jingles featured by the music news outlet The Vinyl District. We should note that Bill Wither's "Grandma's Hands" was also on the track listing. We like Mr. Withers, and not just "Lean on Me," either. Thanks to The Vinyl District for this inclusion.  

July 24, 2015 (Friday) - From Stereofly to Berlin, we buzz, we glide. Crossing borders, lakes, rivers, oceans, etc. Thanks to Lie in the Sound, of Germany, for their write-up and interest in the music of Thayer Sarrano -- specifically "Crease." Lie in the Sound is a music-blog Deutschland compatriot of Coast is Clear. The former is located in Berlin, the latter from Kiel. We thank them both for their recurrent support of the music of Thayer Sarrano. Living proof that she has been going global since 2009....  

July 24, 2015 (Friday) - "Crease" from Thayer Sarrano lands over at Stereofly Magazine in Columbia, SC -- the home of Papa Jazz Record Shoppe. Thanks to Greg Slattery of Stereofly for the space and attention devoted to "Crease." Apparently, Thayer is even taking over the place, as well! Stereofly updated their Facebook profile photo, using Jason Thrasher's iconic image of her. If only we had thought of that!  

July 23, 2015 (Thursday) - The perennial (and autumnal) support of The Autumn Roses for the music of Thayer Sarrano is always appreciated. || Quote: " The first glimpse of her forthcoming album Shaky will make you catch your breath, the tips of its rippling black waters streaked with magnificent ivory moonlight." || A few more listens to "Crease" just days prior to the release of yet another track from the forthcoming album -- Shaky (August 28, 2015). Consider visiting The Autumn Roses on Twitter, too, where their handle, "Red Roses for Me," conjures up that classic album of the same name by the Pogues, for us here on this desk.  

July 21, 2015 (Tuesday) - Like Janus, we look forward to the future (Shaky Release -- August 28, 2015) -- yes -- but retrograde to the ample past as well.

We share this on our desk kind courtesy of ANON's own Trish Connelly. Thank you!  

July 21, 2015 (Tuesday) - Generous words about Thayer Sarrano from Gordon Lamb of Flagpole Magazine, situated within the broader sweep of an article about Tedo Stone and other happenings on the Athens music scene. Quote: "...Thayer Sarrano has a new album coming out Aug. 28. It’s entitled Shaky, and its lead single is “Crease.” It’s a heavily layered track of the sort we’ve come to expect from Sarrano. Distinctly, though, “Crease” is the sound of urgency cuffed to its own reserve. When the song builds and builds and, at the 1:47 mark, the vocals double up in a reverb swell, it’s more like the emotion is collapsing in on itself, rather than bustin’ loose. Listen at least a couple of times to see what I mean. It’s a hell of an effect and makes for a very cool listening experience." Thank you, Flagpole Magazine. Please visit: Thayer Sarrano.  

July 20, 2015 (Monday) - Many thanks to Just Music I Like for their recent write-up, regarding "Crease" by Thayer Sarrano.

July 10, 2015 (Friday) - Big Takeover Magazine was kind and good enough to highlight the song "Crease" from the forthcoming album -- Shaky -- from Thayer Sarrano.
